| They're both cute carriers, very similar as far as color/appearance. I guess I would just look at the dimensions and decide how comfortable my pup would be in it. The first one looks like it's not as tall, so you might want to take into account how tall your pup is - if you think he'd be able to sit comfortably, etc. The second bag looks like it has hard sides - If it was me, I would prefer a softer bag. I also like how the first bag has pockets for you to store things - saves you having to carry a purse AND a dog bag. This sounds dumb, but when I was looking at Celltei bags I actually created a mock 'floor' (just a piece of paper) to match the dimensions of the bottom of the bag and sat Oscar on it to see how much room he would have around him while he was laying down, sitting, etc. Hope this helps, I'm sure either one will be great! (Also take into account what you want to carry around - if you think one will be easier and more comfortable to tote around than the other - even a 3lb dog in a bag can feel heavy after awhile!)

| I like the first one w/ the pockets ... my only concern would be does the bag need to stay closed all the time or does it have a security strap so that you can leave the top open (in case it gets hot)?

| I like the looks of the first one, but like the other person wrote, is it tall enough? What happened to your idea of getting the other one (I think some said it was cheaper on Petsedge)? I really liked that one and have thought about getting it myself.

It zips on top & the sides and has mesh fabric sides on both ends of the barrel-type bag for air ventilation. These carriers are designed for smaller dogs. First one is 9 inches tall, second is 10 inches tall. They are actually both similar in size. The first one is a tad longer than the second carrier pictured. I have several pictures of chloe in the second carrier so I have attached them to help get a feel for size of carrier. CHloe was about 2.7 lbs in these pictures (first picture is pretty old becasue you can tell her head was still silver).

| The first one w/ the 2 pockets would be really nice for Cali. Maybe I should get this one instead of a Juicy ... it's looks more roomy then the Juicy carriers.

| Hi, Here's another view... Does this soft sided one have some kind of frame in it? I have a staight sided one like the second picture, but I just bought a soft sided one like the first picture. What I noticed was that the soft sided one doesn't stand up on it's own, the sides fall inwards. (it's a Nicole Miller) On the other hand, I can put the hard sided one down on the ground and Mia can go sit in it on her own. She likes that. Good luck making your decision - they're both really nice!!!

| Both carriers are very nice. Shana carries good quality merchandise. Personally, I prefer the second one -- simply because it looks more like a purse to me AND I like the streamlined look. |
